It’s a
shame the presenter on last night’s BT
Sport FA Cup programme wasn’t a bit better up on Lincoln City politics or he’d
have asked Danny Cowley, on as a pundit, what he thought of the draw that pits
Lincoln City against a club we rather hoped we’d left behind, Forest Green
Rovers.
I’m sure
Cowley would have been as diplomatic as ever but there would, surely have been
a wry grin on Danny boys face as the tie was announced.
There’s no
guarantee of course that City will be able to maintain their winning run
against the muesli munchers, especially now we’re under new management and, as
the bigger club now, Michael Appleton may well use the fixture to give some of
the understudies some game time and a chance to show what they can do.
It’ll be a
different game too as Danny usually reverted to a basic hit and run strategy
that our old friend Mark Cooper couldn’t seem to get to grips with. That was
either because a leopard doesn’t change its spots or, more likely, he wouldn’t
want to demean himself, as guardian of the true spirit of the game, by getting
down and dirty with us ruffians from Lincolnshire. He’d probably agree with
that other paragon of football virtue, Joey Barton who said recently he’d
rather lose than employ the, shock horror, long throw tactic employed by that
well known long ball outfit Accrington Stanley.
Either way
we won’t be there. We will either have to rant and rave at home unless anyone
fancies getting together with megaphones on the top of the south common and
hoping the wind’s in the right direction?
